Carlson Precision 3D Topo bridges survey and CAD by importing LIDAR, drone, and traditional survey data to create usable 3D surfaces.
Users can merge and edit point clouds, apply bare-earth filters, remove outliers, and crop or delete points to refine surfaces.
Powerful surface editing tools allow adding points, polylines, or 3D breaklines, adjusting triangle edges, smoothing surfaces, and merging models. Volumes can be calculated directly from point clouds or between surfaces, with cut/fill displayed and reports generated.
Advanced texturing and presentation tools include Google Maps backgrounds, 3D draped textures, automated colorization of surfaces, overlay of images, OBJ/SKP model imports, and animation for flyovers or drive-alongs. P3D Topo supports LandXML, DXF, TIN, TN3, and TTM exports.
Multithreaded and 64-bit, the software leverages all available RAM and advanced 3D shaders to efficiently process large datasets and point clouds, offering real-time dynamic contours, volume calculations, and detailed surface editing.
